What do you guys use to post images on here? I've used imgur but it just posts a link, unless I'm not selecting the right option or something.

When you upload something to imgur.com there's a list of stuff to the right. One of them is bb code. Use that one.
 
Happy Hunting Today everyone!

I'm just waiting for Future Shop to ship my Meta Knight and. I am done Wave 3.

Excited to go get my Majoras Mask 3DS and Limited addition in about an hour!
 
God dammit, choices. It is cold as fuck outside and the TRU near me already told me it only getting one Ike and it is preorder. Wondering if I should even bother going out.

Where do i go to get a refund?
 
No, I asked. Heading to TRU at 10 since I know they have some new Amiibo.

Did they have any of the MM bundles with the skull kid figure? Way more interested in that then the 3ds.

Also target is kind of a waste for Amiibo isn't it? Aren't they not stocking the rares from phase 3 in store?
 
That's a good question.
Someone needs to try that on smash.
I'm assuming no though since 3DS data might count differently from WiiU. Even if it's the same game and functionality.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can not, but can't remember where I read it.
Maybe I dreamt it.

I thought we already had videos that showed they work the same and recognize the same data. Or am I dreaming?

Edit:

I see we're all just having dreams at this point. Anyone else have a dream to add on?
 
I ordered DeDeDe and Ike for in-store pickup at GameStop - haven't heard a peep through text or e-mail. Should I go by the store anyway?

Dude at my store said maybe next week at the earliest for them.

When you post a message there's a little icon that says"Insert Image". It looks like two mountains with a little sun. When you click it, it will ask you for the link of the image you wish to insert.

No, they had the standard stuff and 6 MM 3DS's. I only got a system though, I'm heading to Best Buy after TRU and getting a game since this is my first 3DS.

As for Amiibo, I thought I read something yesterday or the day before someone on here said their friend worked at Target and they had some of the new Amiibo in the back, dated for today.

I'm doing the same, but since they both open at the same time I assume that any of the skull kid bundles will be bought by then if they are there. TRU and BB are in the same shopping complex for me at least.
 
Hmmmm since I won't be able to make it to toys r us today cause I'm working I'm wondering if anyone would do this trade

Your USA sealed
Mega man x king dedede x sonic x ike

For

My
Lucario x Rosalina
Both usa x sealed

Don't think it'd be out of line tbh , might propose that on other sites too.

I'll see hat they have but if I can grab an extra Mega man or one of the others I will PM you for trade

They're right by each other for me as well. I'm going there to get the GCU discount on my game, that's really why. I assume any good stuff will already be picked over by the time I get there. My goal today was MM 3DS, and D3 and MegaMan Amiibos.

I'm not part of any of the store clubs or discounts since these amiibo are the first thing in years that I haven't just got from amazon.

I'm hoping to get some combination of Megaman, D3, Sonic, or Toon Link. Don't have any hope for Ike, but realistically no hope for any of them. When I was at TRU yesterday 3 other people came in and asked the same thing I was asking just during the time I was there. I'm not able to run so I doubt I will get to anything fast enough.

Fairlakes?
 
Well, I've got Ike and Dedede on order from GS that was delayed indefinitely, but I also have them on in-store pre-order. I'm off from work today, but I'm really not beat for lining up in the cold and running from retail store to retail store. Rosalina Day was enough. I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed that GS comes through. Otherwise, I've got some good ones to trade people in this thread if anyone comes across extras.
 
I got one of the MM New 3DS

Then i found out my friend got fucked over by Target.

He is a huge Zelda fan, so i'm letting him nab it off me for cost. I suppose i'll just buy the rest of my amiibos then instead of trading it.

Speaking of, my ride bailed on me, so no TRU for me D=. Hope you guys make out well!

I'm in Northern Ohio. And I've only done 2 pre-store opening waits and both have been uneventful. Everyone was semi friendly and cooperative, of course on both occasions there was enough product to go around.
 
I know a kid who I've been trying to buy an Amiibo for that has had terrible luck. What did he want?

This kid wanted a Villager. (he looks cool!)

This kid wanted a Wii Fit Trainer. (she looks funny!)

This kid wanted a Lucario (he's my favorite pokemon!)

This kid wanted a Rosalina (I like her star guy! And she's pretty!)

This kid wants a Ness (I like his striped shirt and hat)

Since scalpers and grown men buying multiple copies for whatever reason have killed the previous dreams, how can I secure a Ness? Has it already been up for preorder? Is it one of those retail exclusive?

I'm glad I have simpler tastes and just wanted a Pikachu and Samus and got those for Smash (Pikachu is agile, Samus is a tank).

Lucario is 27.99€ and available in France. Wii Fit Trainer goes for 18.95€ iirc
Try Amazon.fr? I don't know but it may be possible to ship in the US.

Edit : edited the price... but if you can buy from here just check regularly (I've ordered a Wii Fit Trainer for 14.99€ Monday and received yesterday).
 
Went to the 2 closest Targets on my way to work. Got to one 10 min after opening they got 2 MM 3ds the other got 3. I expected them to be gone but wtf 2 and 3??? Nintendo is seriously close to losing a lifelong customer ugh. Oh well have a black one preordered that I will pick up at 10.

All of them got small shipments in. The one I went to had 6 MM, I heard another in the area had 4. If anything, I was more shocked at the small amount of the black and red N3DS's. The one I went to had I think 3 reds and 3 blacks. Not sure on the other.
 
Reposting so that those that might have missed it can see and have a chance at the Lucario I am giving away. I've gotten a decent amount of responses and I'm so happy to see some excitement about it. People have even gone on to write emails about why they're interested in it and it's been great reading them. Keep in mind, though, this will be a random drawing, but don't let that stop you from writing...I really enjoy the stories:

Alright Amiibros, I wanted to give back to this little(?) thread that has brought me much joy, sorrow, and best of all, the heads up on when to get Amiibos pre-ordered. I only usually purchase one of each Amiibo, but back when TRU cancelled all those orders accidentally, I ordered another one and even when they reinstated my order, I decided to keep both just in case one fell through. They both came and I was going to maybe keep the Lucario for trading purposes, but I think all my stuff will eventually come through.

So, what does this mean to you? Well, what I would like to do is give this Lucario away. This is a U.S. offer only as I don't feel like dealing with international shipping (I love you guys around the world, though!). However, I only want it to go to someone who doesn't already have a Lucario. I'm relying on the honor system here. So, what you can do is PM me telling me you're interested. I have to go out of town for a funeral, but when I get back on Tuesday I will pick a name from those who PM me and I will send this Lucario to you at no charge.

Again, if you have one already (I don't care if you usually leave one in a box and open another one), please don't PM me. I'm hoping to bring some joy to someone who couldn't get their hands on one.

Also, not sure the best way to kind of refresh this over time. I want people to get a chance, but I know this thread moves quickly. Here's some pictures of it.




 
I checked Wal-Mart this morning on the way to work. They did have a restock...most of Wave 1 commons and Wave 2 commons were out (lacked Yoshi, Samus, and DK) and Bowser was out. There were pegs for Sonic, Toon Link, and Sheik, but I didn't see any out (and nobody was there to ask about them). I'll check TRU and BB around 10 for giggles.

Appreciate you doing this. I don't think I'll enter since part of me wouldn't mind getting it for collector's/completionist's sake, but I know there's others who want it much more than me.
 
Is Target supposed to get any amiibos today? I went to the one near my work about 10 minutes after they opened and they didn't have anything. No Majora's Mask stuff either. The cashier said that people ran for the MM 3DS, but didn't say anything about any amiibos.
 
Arrived at tru 25 before opening and one person here. Was expecting more but at least I don't have to worry about any of them selling out unless they got one lol.
 
6:39AM local time. I'm first in line at my target (Bay Area, CA). About 5 other cars with ppl inside waiting. I said screw it, I'm going out I want to be first. I've been hearing Targets on the East Coast only getting 2-3 MM3DSXL's so I'm not risking it. I checked this store's inventory and their scanners said 7 in stock. Could be 10. I'll find out in a little more than an hour!
 
Went to Toys R Us an hour before they opened this morning in 10 degree weather and there was a sign outside that said "We are sold out of all new amiibo."
